The announcement, released on <strong>February 16, 2026<\/strong>, reflects the company&#39;s robust financial position and its strategic focus on the Auckland industrial market.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive Officer <strong>James Spence<\/strong> described the buyback as a strategic move to capture value, noting that the current market pricing provides an attractive opportunity for the trust to acquire its own units. The buyback will be funded through existing credit facilities, leveraging the company&#39;s strong balance sheet and <em>substantial liquidity<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The trust also provided a positive update on its portfolio valuation, with draft reports from independent valuers indicating a <strong>$112 million (2.7%) increase<\/strong> in fair value. This adjustment brings Goodman Property Trust (<a href=\"\/stock\/GMT\">GMT<\/a>)\u2019s total property funds under management to approximately <strong>$4.9 billion<\/strong>. The weighted average capitalisation rate for the investment portfolio is now estimated at <strong>5.9%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to capital returns, the trust is moving forward with a significant <strong>structural update<\/strong>. GMT is finalizing workstreams to transition from its current trust model to a <strong>corporatised and stapled structure<\/strong>. This shift is intended to modernize governance, improve operational efficiency, and provide a more flexible platform for active investment opportunities while maintaining its <strong>Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE)<\/strong> tax status.<\/p>\n<p>The positive revaluation and buyback news follow recent expansion efforts, including the <strong>$53.5 million acquisition<\/strong> of a 5.1-hectare redevelopment site at <strong>37-41 Felix Street<\/strong> in Onehunga. Management remains optimistic about the industrial sector, citing <em>limited new supply<\/em> in prime Auckland locations and steady demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Goodman Property Trust (GMT) is launching an on-market unit buyback of up to NZ$125 million, citing a value-driven
